Operating record

Fifteen years running post-sales organizations, across every stage from implementation to support. Every figure below is one I can source.

Scale and operating context

  • Built a post-sales organization at ShipHero from 5 people to 90 across two divisions and four regions, while company revenue scaled from $50M to past $100M

  • Owned service delivery across a $360M enterprise portfolio at Rackspace, leading more than 100 people through 10 managers across three shifts plus offshore support

  • Integrated the support function behind four acquisitions in eight months, across six facilities in the US and Canada

  • Held board and executive reporting responsibility through a $50M growth equity round, and separately through a take-private buyout

  • Designed compensation plans and bonus structures at ShipHero and Rackspace

  • Stood up CS Operations as a function from zero
